Sorry for the way he is treating you Liz.
Liz is like the grandma of osm. She has been a tireless supporter, She spent
months helping in OSM kosovo and flossk. She dontated laptops, gps devices
and lots of love. I dont know if you follow that at all steve, but I am
shocked how you are speaking to her.

Steve, please be a little more respectful of your elders,

thanks,
mike

Two things:
1) fosm.org was unavailable for 12 hours today.  I think it went down just
as I stepped onto a plane, so I was unaware and unable to do anything about
it until back on terra firma.

2) It's clear that some people cannot access fosm.org even when it is up.  I
think this is because some browsers don't support xslt.  More information
would be helpful.  I will switch to server-side xslt if that is indeed the
cause.

3) (ok, three things), there is no map hosted as fosm.org at the moment,
there are people working on rendering (such as bigtincan) and I'm happy to
encourage such diversity as it makes the project stronger.  I'm trying to
keep the core of fosm small and tight.  I don't want to create features like
user dairies else I'd be accused of forking the community.  We all have the
same goals, some people just want to license them differently.

So we would like a little code change and remove the 'map' link at the
top, with some text info to sharedmap.org and bigtincan
It will reduce some confusion.

OK, i tried fosm.org, it worked.
I clicked on the "maps" link"http://fosm.org/poly/tah.html#2.00/34.4/-5.9";
and got a totally blank page.

Latest Firefox (5)  running on latest stable Kubuntu.

 If anyone is still interested, I can confirm that it was not "legit". EBay 
have removed the listing and notified the buyers.
